A hackerspace is a great way to meet people with the same interests as you and learn a ton of new things. But if you don't have one in your hometown, you're kind of out of luck. If you want to start up your own, Adafruit has started up a seven part guide with everything you need to know.

Since a hackerspace is essentially a non-profit meeting place it's a difficult process to start your own. Adafruit's guide deals out all the information you'll need, starting with a quick rundown of what a hackerspace is, and moving on to space requirements, finding locations, members, resources, and everything else. The seven part series is currently only on the second part, but over the next few days you'll get all the information you need. Of course, if you can, it's always easy to join a hackerspace in your community.
